Giant axillary tumor resection using ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block and serratus anterior plane block

Abstract

Herein, we report the combined use of interscalene brachial plexus block and serratus anterior plane block for surgical removal of a large neoplasm that was embedded deep in the axilla and chest wall of a patient with high-risk hypertension. With the combined use of conventional and novel nerve blocks, the large neoplasm was successfully resected without obvious complications.
